Organizing video clips on your computer

I need to organize video clips stored on my computer. A number of programs like Picasa allow you to tag photos with multiple labels for easy sorting and searching, but I haven’t seen a similar organizer for avi, mpg, wmv, mov, and flv files. (Picasa does allow you to upload videos to web albums, but as I said, I’m looking to organize clips stored on my computer).

You’d think it would be easy to find such software, but I’ve had no luck. Anybody?

(I know this is a strange site to come to for this issue, but I just love y'all so much. Can anyone suggest a more appropriate website on which to post this question?)

If you're on a mac, you can add spotlight comments. just do a command-I, or from the menu "File -> get info".you can then use spotlight to find all the files with those tags.Not much in the way of organizing, but makes it quick to find stuff.

Well then I am friggin usless to you. If you ever consider switching to a I might gain some value. That said iTunes will handle video, but it has to be in a format that is recognized by Quicktime so some of the formats listed would casue you some prolems unless you convereted them to mpg or mpg4.

Sed, I think he's looking for some software the will help him create local indexes to his porn... uh, I mean video collection with arbitrary strings (tags). He could then search for things like "banana" or "cucumber" and get the list of... uh... gardening videos that featured said tags.

I was just thinking of the same thing as I was doing my Spring pornganizing. Unfortunately, I have no solutions to recommend. The Mac people are going to be ahead on this one for sure, tho. For Win, it looks to me like this is a business opportunity. Msoft was supposed to solve this in Vista with WinFS, but that was a spectacular failure and never shipped.

Google desktop is the perfect platform for this, but they don't support user tagging

Ah. I think I get it. LOL. My por... um... video collection has never been that extensive so I've never needed things like this.
